Jesse Chunn Cash vs. Loan

Thanks again to the respective contributors, and keep 'em coming:Financing / leverage allows for faster growth.Financing allows for a much larger portfolio (for a given amount of cash), with lower positive cash flow per property but more positive cash flow overall.Having some percentage (say 50%) of properties free and clear (100% equity) can act as a backstop to protect against downturns and other bad situations.Rates are low right now so now is a good time to borrow as much as possible.Starting with cash and then quickly moving to borrowing can reduce the complexities when first starting out and building a team.Using financing leaves more cash on hand to deal with unexpected expenses.A large multi-unit benefits from economies of scale, which supports the argument to leverage existing cash to finance larger cash flow (ROI) as a percentage.One "con" for large multi-units is that the market for multi unit properties should I need to sell is tougher because of limited buyers.Gaining two or more years of proven rental revenue will be considered as good as employment income by smart lenders.This is a valuable list that I think you could almost make a book out of, with each bullet being the topic of a chapter.
